,Tio'allhwhom z't may concern:

citizen of .the United States, residing a't Jacksonville, in the countyof Duval and 5 State of'Florida, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Turpentine- Condensers, of which the following is aspecication.

vMy improvement relates to ccndensers, and more particularly to a formof condenser for turpentine stills.

The object is to provide a simple, cheap and effective condensing meansthat may be connected to any form of vapor generato-r.' The device is,however, designed principally to meet the requirements of the,turpentine industry of which I have made an exhaustive study.

' The principal advantages of my improvement arc its simplicity ofconstruction and the vvery quick and econo-mical manner ofvcondensation. Turpentine vapors arising from the heated crude productscondense very rapidly when they are once chilled, therefore an ample andproperly constructed condenser must be provided andone wherein wat-erchilled surfaces (occupying very little space) must penetrate Well intoand be distributed well within the condenser' compartment.

My device consists, broadly speaking, of

three tanks A(preferably cylindrical and of copper) the' first tank, aprimary chilling tank, being'provided with a water surrounded wormterminating in a pipe connecting the same with the main condensing andcooling tank, the construction of which will be described in detaillater, the last of the three tanks being'the well for the finishedAturpentine product, and the two last mentioned tanks having water cooledjackets. Referring to the drawings Figure 1 is a sectional elevatio-n ofthe device7 Fig. 2 being a detail of construction of a part of the maincondensing tank.

Referring to the several features bynumerals, 1' represents apipeadapted to be connected to any vapor generating means bythe'coupling 1A, 2 being the primary water cooling tank having a wormBland suitable worm supports 4, while a pipe 5, the continuation of theworm, connects the primary cooling means with'the main condensing tankThe tank proper has `an upper and "a, lower section joined at/ 7, awater jacket 8 'is provided. in its upper section with a plui lbeingformed by the outer wall l9 and the Be it known thatl, JAsrEn R. WALKER,a

inner wall 10 also joined at 7a- 7a. The inner compartment 11 of themain condenser whereinthe worm discharge pipe 5 empties rality of domeshaped leaves'12l having. central openingsV 13 and downwardly slopingouter walls 14 and drain holes 15, the latter spirits that may haveformed from the chill received'in the primary cooling tank willbeallowed to drip upon the upper basin por'- tion 17 of the above referredto cooling collumn and finally find its v vay down into the main cooling-tank through the worm V18 which is as shown carried around the watercooled column 16'. .An outlet pipe 19 leads from the-spirits coolingcompartment to the spirits well 20 the well having a water cooled lbeinglocated as shown near the water cooled I wall 21 and a suitable cover22.' Suitable Water supply pipes 23, drain pipes 245 and overflow pipes,2 5 .are fitted as shownv toy get-her with suitable stop valves forcontrolling the same.. The spirits well is provided with glass gage 26for determining the depth of liquid and an opening 27 tted as shown forascertaining the flow there-4 rially hasten the operation. `Thedripp-ings from the said leaves are received in' the lower portion'ofthe'tank 6, whence the product passes-to the water cooled'spirits well20 through the outlet pipe 19. .The provisionv of the' waterl cooledcolumn 16, thebasin 17 leaves 12 before referred to serving tomate- 1.Al tnrpentine condenser haring a pri-v l mary Water cooled coil, a watercooled condensing means connected therewith, the said condensing meanscomprising a superimposed main condenser compartment, vapor arrestingmeans disposed around the said compartment, an internally and externallying compartment.

and a water cooled storage well connected with the said cooling tank.

3. Acondenser having a primary' water cooled coil, a water cooledcondensing means connected therewith, the said condensing meanscomprising a superimposed main condenser compartment, a plurality ofhorizontal dome shaped baille plates disposed therein, a water cooledjacket surrounding the said bale. plates, a cooling tank disposed belowthe said main condenser compartment, a water cooled jacket disposedaround the said cooling tank and a vertically and centrally disposedwater column within the said ltank and an externally water cooledstorage well connected with and adjacent to the said cooling tank.
